Why choose a Secretlab chair over other chairs?

At Secretlab, we recognize the importance of having an ergonomic chair. Statistics have shown that people spend more than half of their waking hours sitting down. This results in a high chance for improper posture, which can lead to chronic back health problems over time.

With this in mind, we were inspired by car racing seats—seats designed to conform to the human body shape in order to provide advanced lateral support and weight distribution. We've applied the same concept in the design of our chairs to accommodate long hours of usage in front of the computer. Each chair spawns from quality core materials, unparalleled craftsmanship, and state of the art manufacturing processes.

Additionally, our mission is to bring value to you, the customer. We do this in many ways—one of them is that we sell directly to the consumer. This removes the extra layers of final costing such as overseas distributor margins, local distributor margins, retailer margins, and storefront costs. Straight from our factory to you.

Choosing a Secretlab chair is an investment in comfort. It's easy to overlook the importance of a chair that supports you well and keeps you comfortable, but your back will thank you in the long run!

What are the differences between the THRONE, OMEGA and TITAN?

The THRONE is suitable for the more petite user, with thick layers of cold-cure foam cushioning, 4D armrests, an aluminum base, velour pillows, and PU casters.

The OMEGA contains an even thicker layer of cold-cure foam to provide extreme cushioning & support. Due to its compact design, the overall shape of the chair wraps more fittingly for most people and offer a snug feeling when seated in it to provide better ergonomic support. Additionally, it comes with a multi-functional tilt mechanism which provides more flexibility and allows you to lock the chair at desired angles.

The TITAN features an even taller backrest and a wider and deeper seat base. This chair is ideal for the bigger-than-average user, up to 6’4” in height and 290lbs in weight. It is also the only model in our lineup that has our integrated adjustable lumbar support system, which allows you to adjust the lumbar support by turning the knob on the right side of the backrest. In addition, the TITAN also uses our XL PU casters which enables smoother gliding, increased sturdiness and enhanced durability.

Which should I choose: PRIME™ PU Leather or SoftWeave™ Fabric?

Secretlab chairs come in both leather and fabric options—both will offer you same great seating experience, so which one should you choose?

Ultimately it boils down to personal preference, but here are some differences between leather and fabric that may help you decide.

Durability
Our Secretlab PRIME PU Leather is water resistant, making it the better choice if you’re prone to accidental spills. If you’re confident about keeping food or liquids away from your chair, then feel free to choose between either of our top-quality upholsteries.

Breathability
Our Secretlab SoftWeave™ Fabric was designed with breathability in mind—while the threads are tightly woven for durability, they still allow for air to flow through, helping to dissipate heat more easily.

Ease of maintenance
PU leather is easy to take care of with some quick maintenance every now and then. While our SoftWeave™ fabric also does not require maintenance as often, it will take some effort to clean if it gets dirty. To learn more, check out our Aftercare Guide here.

What's the difference between the Full Tilt and Multi Tilt mechanisms?

The Full Tilt mechanism is found on the Throne series. It allows you to adjust the height and tension of the tilt mechanism which gives you control over the suspension of the chair when reclining backwards.

The Multi-functional Tilt mechanism is found only on the OMEGA and TITAN series. It has all the features of the Full Tilt mechanism which gives you full control over the suspension of the chair. In addition, it allows you to lock the chair at desired angles, such as tilting backwards while in an upright position..

How do I know if a Secretlab chair will be a good fit for me?

We've designed our chairs to be as adjustable as possible, taking into consideration that people have varying weights and height. We do have a recommended using our chair measurement guide base on your height and weight here with our Sizing Guide to get a better idea on which chairs suits you best.

However, we also understand that people come in different shapes and sizes, so as our Sizing Guide is based on a general guideline, we strongly recommend checking out the measurements of each chair under the Resources page.

We also suggest comparing these measurements against your current chair, to give you a better idea of which chair would fit you best.

What is the weight limit for Secretlab chairs?

The recommended weight limit is 220lbs for the THRONE, 240lbs for the OMEGA, and 290lbs for the TITAN.

While our chairs are rated for loads higher than these, we’ve determined these recommended weight limits through rigorous testing to provide the safest and optimal experience for our customers.
